The twin juggernauts of syndicated game shows, Jeopardy! and Wheel Of Fortune are among the longest-running programs on television. More than 20 million people a week tune in to watch each show, respectively. But true nerds know that one is awesome, and the other, well—isn’t.

The promotional campaign for Deadpool 2 has been reliably and delightfully offbeat, but the latest effort is easily the most far-out. In a new teaser that features a Portuguese voiceover, Deadpool (Ryan Reynolds) lets Brazilian fans know how they can have his body on theirs forever—with a tattoo.
